    He 
    was 
    a 
    drifter, 

    drifting 
    on 
    from 
    town 
    to 
    town 

    He 
    was 
    a 
    drifter 
    that 
    put 

    John 

    Brady 
    in 
    the 
    ground 

    He 
    was 
    a 
    drifter, 

    true 
    love 
    made 
    him 
    go 
    astray 

    He 
    was 
    a 
    drifter, 
    now 
    in 

    Yuma 
    he 
    must 
    stay. 

    The 
    scene 
    was 
    a 
    western 
    barroom, 

    the time 
    about 
    sundown. 

    That's 
    when 
    the 
    drifter 
    came 
    to 
    town. 

    He 
    rode 
    into 

    Yuma 
    with 
    his 
    gun 

    strapped 
    to 
    his 
    side 

    Looking 
    for 

    John 

    Brady, 
    the 
    man 
    that 
    took 
    his 
    pride 

    He 
    walked 
    into 
    the 
    barroom, 

    but 
    no 
    one 
    knew 
    his 
    name 

    He 
    spotted 
    old 

    John 

    Brady 
    in 
    a 
    poker 
    game 

    They 
    walked 
    outside 
    and 
    a 
    thirsty 

    crowd 
    began 
    to 
    gather 
    round 

    Each 
    man 
    took 
    ten 
    paces, 

    but 
    the 
    drifter 
    cut 
    him 
    down 

    And 
    the 
    marshal 
    took 
    the 
    drifter, 

    put 
    him in 
    the 
    calypso 

    His 
    hours 
    they 
    were 
    numbered, 

    till 
    he'd 
    have 
    to 
    face 
    the 
    deuce 

    Then 
    darkness 
    came 
    to 

    Yuma 
    and 
    the 
    western 
    town 
    was 
    still 

    A 
    screamin' 
    leech 
    mob 
    took 
    the 

    drifter 
    an
    d 
    hung 
    him 
    on 
    a 
    hill 

    He 
    was 
    the 
    drifter, 

    driftin' 
    on 
    from 
    town 
    to 
    town 

    He 
    was 
    the 
    drifter 
    that 
    put 

    John 

    Brady 
    in 
    the 
    ground 

    He 
    was 
    a 
    drifter, 

    true 
    love 
    made 
    him 
    go 
    astray 

    He 
    was 
    a 
    drifter, 

    now 
    in 
    the 
    old 
    he 
    must 
    stay

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
